The Bad Penny (beta)

The proverbial “they” said it couldn’t be done, but with these words, The Bad Penny has reached its thousandth post since launching way back in 1862 (the same year rock ‘n’ roll was invented!). In celebration of what is still a smaller number than the grand total of songs released by Guided by Voices (no, we didn’t do the math, but are you gonna challenge that assumption?), here are the top 10 most popular posts in the modest history of this website:

1. “Best Metal Albums Of 2010: Black Anvil, Black Breath, Withered, Down, Howl, More“
2. The Bad Penny New Releases Schedule
3. “Crossword Puzzle: James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’“
4. “Getting to Know Mark Lanegan“
5. “Patti Smith On Jamming With Jeff Buckley And Tom Verlaine: ‘It Was Beautiful’“
6. “Old 97’s Frontman Rhett Miller On Getting Married, His Literary Ambitions, ‘Total Anarchy’ With Jon Brion“
7. “Superchunk’s Mac McCaughan And Laura Ballance Open Up About Shutting Up, Running Merge And More“
8. “Weezer’s Brian Bell Was ‘Overwhelmed’ By Maladroit Material“
9. “Cheap Trick’s Bun E. Carlos On Recording With Steve Albini, Why Band Re-Cut In Color“
